I repaired an old quilt a couple of years ago and to match the fabric in the quilt, I put a section of the quilt on my scanner and scanned it. Then I croped out the section that I wanted to print and printed out my repair fabric on muslin printer sheets. Worked like a charm. This was better, I thought than having different colored pieces in the quilt. The quilt was only a family keepsake and not considered historical significient.
